Unbeknownst to him, the general had already come to regard the cub as his own child, and had unknowingly shown some of his true feelings.
And it wasn't just him who thought this way; everyone thought they were the only one who discovered the game, the only one whom the cubs considered uniquely adoring.
However, it was only after seeing the forum that I realized the game for the cubs was not a hidden gem unknown to anyone.
For some reason, the general felt a strange, ticklish sensation in his heart, like a cat scratching at his heart, making him restless and uneasy.
The general couldn't help but turn to look at the cub again.
The toddler, who had been waiting for his father to lull him to sleep, could no longer resist the drowsiness and lay down on the bed, fast asleep. His round little bottom was facing his father, and every now and then a few soft "ZZzzzz" sounds would pop out from his deep sleep...
When the general saw the cub, his hardened heart softened again. He reached out and pulled the blanket out from under the cub and covered him up.
His movements woke the cub, which, half-asleep, was still clinging to his fingers.
"I want Daddy... I want Daddy to comfort the baby..."
So the general, who had pressed the cub back down, froze for a moment before reaching out and patting the cub twice.
The corners of the baby's mouth were turned up, and it seemed that he was sleeping with a smile on his face.
Several more notifications appeared above the child's head:
The cub's affection level increases by 2.
The cub's affection level increases by 2.
It's as if there's a bug, it's frantically showering the general with affection.
It seems that just the presence of the "father" is enough for the cubs to give all their emotions to love him.
The general watched the cub fall asleep before resisting the urge to put his phone down and lie down, continuing to endure the pain of his mental turmoil. But this time, he only lay in the nutrient tank for a short while with his eyes closed, before he couldn't help but raise his two cold, gleaming mechanical hands and clench them tightly, revealing his restless and agitated heart.
He sat up again and started browsing the forum he had just been looking at.
"The baby is so cute! I didn't know that babies are all so tiny, soft, and adorable. I feel so much better now. I only played a game for a little while. Master Baby is a miracle worker!"
"Baby babies save the world! How am I supposed to live without my babies?! Who even made this game?! Can you please optimize it quickly and release it fully?! I want to spend money! I want to spend money!!!"
"What I'm saying is, can we change the baby's living environment? The baby looks so pitiful with such a bare house. Can't you give the baby my 800-square-meter villa to live in?"
"Is this game all about nurturing your character? But who exactly are we to our little one? Can we choose our identity? And can we name our little one? Don't the developers even consider adding these ways to retain users?"
"We're supposed to be acting as the child's guardians, right? What else do you want? Be careful, the juvenile court might be knocking on your door for a chat tomorrow!"
"By the way, there's something else I'm curious about... What's the baby's gender? Alpha? Beta?"
"Haha, the little one is so cute, he might be an omega."
"!!! No way?! The Omega Protection Association is coming because they smell it!! Run!"
"I told you not to talk nonsense! If my game is taken down later, all of you here will be sinners!"
The general frowned, but he was now certain that the cub seemed to have only called him "Dad".
The child is different to him.
and……
The general opened the game again. The lights in the cub's room were off, but his direction looked like a door with light shining through it.
The general followed the path drawn by the light to approach the cub. He wanted to touch the sleeping cub's face, but was afraid of waking it up, so he could only click on the cub's status icon in the upper left corner.
Young cub (Xiao Yuan): 3 years old.
Status: Asleep.
Mood: Good.
Hunger level: Satisfied.
Physical condition: Healthy.
The system has indicated that you have activated the hidden panel.
Gender: Omega (undifferentiated)
Parent: Mephisto Lorenzo (Federal Three-Star General/Spirit General/Legion Commander-in-Chief/Federal Governor/Guardian of Human Civilization)
Two new items appeared on Admiral Mephisto's panel that no one else had.
Mephius was momentarily at a loss for which of the two to be shocked by.
He should be surprised that this game actually dares to use omega as a cover, presenting an omega cub as a plaything to the public.
Or should we be surprised that this game even knows his real name? And like a prank, it lists all his various names at the end, even including his one-inch red-background photo, as if afraid that others wouldn't understand.
Mephius usually only shows himself by his surname, and given his current achievements, position and demeanor, no one dares to call him by his surname directly. Everyone will kneel before him and call him the Spirit General or Commander-in-Chief.
Because 60 percent of his body is now made up of machinery.
His humanity seems to have long been lost due to the replacement and alteration of his mechanical body.
Indeed, it might be more appropriate to call it artificial intelligence now.
As humanity gains a deeper understanding of high-tech development, the use of prosthetics has become quite common for soldiers.
But no madman would have his glands removed and replaced with a mechanical skeleton from the back of his head to his spine.
But this is the only option we have.
As an S-class alpha at the pinnacle of humanity, no one could soothe his raging mental power. The only way to prevent him from dying suddenly in battle was to place his glands outside his body to force them to cool down.
The higher the alpha level, the stronger its combat power, and the greater the probability of it going insane.
And now, as if by some elaborate scheme, the game has delivered an omega cub into his hands.
It was presented to Mephisto in an extremely vulnerable and subservient manner.
It seemed to be telling him that he could use the cub's life, and everything about the cub, to soothe his depleted spiritual energy.
The cubs are his antidote.
But such a fragile life would be drained and die in Mephisto's presence in less than fifteen minutes.
Mephisto frowned as he looked at the game, his mind in turmoil.
For some reason, he felt a sense of relief, relieved that he was the only one who knew the cub's hidden gender, but he also felt disgusted.
I felt disgusted by his sudden urge to easily kill a child.
Mephius stood up abruptly, and the various flexible tubes connected to his mechanical spine, resembling a spider web, were pulled up as well.
The room he was in emitted a series of buzzing sounds: "Warning! Warning! Mechanical tentacle connection abnormality, mental power exceeding normal threshold!!"
